2009 Resolution AO77: Episcopal Health Ministries
Resolution AO77 urges congregations to explore and implement health ministry by 2012 and to raise awareness of health ministries and promote the understanding that health includes body, mind and spirit. This download provides the full resolution and explanation passed by General Convention. This can be an excellent starting point for approaching a rector or vestry with the concept of health ministry.
Healthy People, Healthy Church, Healthy Society
Curriculum designed for adult Christian education forums. Topics covered included how people define health, the role of the church in health, health and society, and the congregation as a place of healing. Mindful Eating
A 14 page curriculum that guides congregants through an educational dining experience. This program gives participants an opportunity to slow down, experience dining in a very conscious way, and develop a healthier relationship with food. This program is especially appropriate for Lent and Advent.
Portion Plate
From our friends at Episcopal Retirement Homes: The Portion Plate is a portion control dietary program that promotes a balanced, nutritional approach to meal planning. Recent scientific studies show that nearly 60% of Americans are overweight, and that one of the main reasons for this growing epidemic of obesity is that we simply eat too much food. To help curb that trend, Episcopal Retirement Homes’ (ERH) Parish Health Ministry is launching The Portion Plate program, which is customized for congregational use.
